One of the big ones is Baileys Original Irish Cream. She calls it her Holly-Day Hot Chocolate. Check out the recipe below:

In her interview with Yahoo she was asked how she handles difficult or uncomfortable situations while entertaining and if politics are a no-no when family/friends are over. Vanessa’s thoughts are the more the merrier. She also said “We only have people over who are respectful of our family and our house, so if they bring someone, they must always be respectful as well.”
Since she is married to 98 Degrees frontman, Nick Lachey the question had to be asked if they listen to the old 98 Degrees Christmas album and which song is their favorite. Vanessa exclaimed, “We listen to it multiple times a day and the kids know all the words. The song they love to sing and dance together to? “Season of Love.”
Vanessa and Nick are planning for some pretty full holidays and now Vanessa just made yours that much sweeter with her special recipe!
